Hey Pratt,
Not sure what you're suggesting as an alternative SOP for uncontrolled airspace. The recommended traffic calls are indeed based off of Australian Class G procedures. I don't know of any documents that describe military procedures in this realm (uncontrolled) as in real life a tower controller would almost always be present. It is not realistic to expect a controller online at all times on the server.
The issue of public players not communicating on SRS is one that concerns me greatly and I advocate for making SRS usage mandatory. I agree with you here.
With regards to CAS / 9-lines - there are numerous videos available online that show the USAF and other NATO allies using 9-lines in Afghanistan & Iraq. I disagree that 9-lines are not used in real life on this basis. Furthermore, there are extremely thorough and comprehensive publications from the DoD such as JP 3-09.3 that entirely focuses on the CAS process.
Cheers,
Elo

SITUATION
Overview:
After 6 months of peacekeeping efforts, NATO forces in Malden have effectively gained control of most of the main island. This has constrained the Syndikat insurgency to the lower south-eastern corner of the main island and the smaller military island to the south-east. Regular patrols are being conducted into the 'Red Zone' in order to perform reconnaissance on insurgent forces and execute raids against known & suspected enemy positions.
SIT OPFOR
Syndikat is a paramilitary group that aims to control the island and use it to manufacture drugs that can be exported to the mainland.
SIT BLUFOR
A NATO company-sized peacekeeping force, based out of the airport, has been in-country for approximately 6 months at the request of the Maldenian government-in-exile.
Your unit, 2nd PLT, 3rd Ranger Battalion, is a special forces detachment operating from the airport in response to the hostage crisis.

The East Island is free of civilians.

@Ren111 it's been out for a few months now. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1217518335
We've played it a couple of times on the customs server. A lot of bugs to be worked out, it seems.

This has constrained the Syndikat insurgency to the lower south-eastern corner of the main island and the smaller military island to the south-east.

SIT OPFOR
Syndikat is a paramilitary group that aims to control the island and use it to manufacture drugs that can be exported to the mainland.
SIT BLUFOR
A NATO company-sized peacekeeping force, based out of the airport, has been in-country for approximately 6 months at the request of the Maldenian government-in-exile.
Your unit, 1st Platoon, is on patrol duties on the southern side of the island.
You have organic air assets operating from the USS Freedom located north of Malden available for close air support.
SIT CIVILIAN
Civilians will be present throughout the area. Although they have been brutalized by the insurgency, some are supportive as a result of payoffs by Syndikat leaders. It is essential that no civilian casualties take place or public sentiment will be swayed - leading to the removal of support assets from the region.
MISSION:
Your platoon has been tasked with a patrol in to the southern-most parts of Malden today. Your patrol route will take you through some of the most heavily armed areas in Malden. You should expect contact with Syndikat forces throughout your mission.
EXECUTION:
Your patrol route and objectives are detailed as follows:
ENTER via ROUTE AVON
PATROL La Rivière
The Spiridonov Vadim is calling at the harbour today - ostensibly to offload fresh fish at the markets. We believe the vessel is also carrying weaponry bound for Syndikat forces and that it will take on a shipment of locally-produced drugs as it leaves.
SEARCH the pictured target building for evidence of the handoff. If any weapons or drugs are found report their presence to HQ and await arrival of local police forces.
RESUPPLY Church at Saint Martin
The Church has requested humanitarian aid which is due to be delivered today. A white resupply truck will be used to deliver supplies as part of your patrol convoy.
The truck is to be left parked outside the church. It will be recovered by another team after the supplies are unloaded.
PATROL Point Cancon Lighthouse
We believe the coast near here is used to smuggle supplies between the islands during the night. SEARCH for any evidence of recent boat landings and report your findings.
PATROL Cancon
This town has a heavy insurgent presence - do not allow your unit to become fixated as Syndikat forces will quickly destroy any isolated elements.
Infantry should be dismounted and vehicles should be moving at a walking speed. Civilian support is essential to our mission of counter-insurgency so we must not appear intimidating to locals.

I have a similar headphone (M40X, apparently more expensive than these) and the sound is nice but they can become a bit uncomfortable after a few hour's of usage. You can get replacement ear cups which are softer though. https://www.reddit.com/r/Zeos/ has some good advice I think
